Abstract: 23
species of Saturniidae are reported for the Philippine Islands (a checklist
is provided on p. 231). 2 new species and 4 new subspecies are described:
Antheraea
(Antheraeopsis) panikin. sp. (widespread endemic on the Philippines),
Antheraea
(Antheraeopsis) panikisahi n. ssp. (endemic on Palawan),
Antheraea
(Antheraea) rosieri imeldae n. ssp. (endemic on Palawan), Antheraea
(Antheraea) semperinoeli n. ssp. (endemic on Mindoro),
Antheraea
(Antheraea)
gulata n. sp. (endemic in the Palawan region), Antheraea
(Antheraea) gschwandneri
zwicki
n. ssp. (endemic on Palawan).
The holotypes are deposited in the Treadaway collection which is assigned
to Senckenberg-Museum, or in the Nässig collection in Senckenberg-Museum,
Frankfurt am Main. The lectotype of Antheraea semperi C. & R.
Felder, 1861 is designated (in BMNH, London).
Antheraea (Antheraeopsis)
youngi
Watson, 1915 is interpreted as a separate Sundaland species
(stat. rev.). All species are described and discussed. 13 colour
plates are included which illustrate each species with examples of some
of the possible variation; further 6 colour plates illustrate preimaginal
instars. Maps illustrating the distribution of the taxa on the Philippines
are provided, as well as illustrations of the genitalia. Tables have been
added to show the degree of endemicity as well as the total number of species
per island and per zoogeographical region. Mindanao (14) and Luzon (12)
are the islands from which the largest number of autochthonous Saturniidae
species is known, followed by Palawan and Leyte (10), Negros and Mindoro
(9).

Abstract:Based on 106 specimens of
Brahmaea
hearseyi ardjoeno Kalis, 1934, from 5 islands of the Philippines, information
about imaginal morphology, phenology, distribution and other observations
on the species are given.The species is known so
far from the islands Luzon, Mindoro, Panay, Negros, and Mindanao.The preimaginal stages are
not known from the Philippines. B. hearseyi ardjoeno is the only
species of the family on the Philippines.The taxonomic and phylogenetic
status of the Philippinian populations will require further studies; there
is a considerable amount of individual and also geographical variability.Both sexes from some of
the islands and the genitalia are illustrated.

Abstract: The
fauna of Saturniidae (Lepidoptera) of the Indonesian island of Sumatra
and surrounding smaller islands is described. 24 species are known, a check-list
(with page numbers) of the species can be found on page 21. In addition,
Antheraea
(Antheraea) billitonensis Moore, 1878 is listed for the island of Belitung.
The work is based on the extensive collecting of E. W. Diehl and other
members of the HSS, as well as on literature records and some museum and
private collections.The lectotype of Attacus
staudingeri Rothschild, 1895 is designated, deposited in Zoologisches
Museum der Humboldt-Universität, Berlin. All other taxonomic changes
which became necessary during the preparation of the present work were
published in advance elsewhere.

All species of Saturniidae known
from Sumatra thus far belong to the subfamily Saturniinae. The tribe Attacini
is represented by three genera with one species each: Attacus Linnaeus,
1767, Archaeoattacus Watson, 1914, and Samia Hübner,
[1819]. The tribe Saturniini is represented by two species of Actias
Leach, 1815, three species of Cricula Walker, 1855, eleven (plus
one from Belitung) species of Antheraea Hübner, [1819], three
species of Loepa Moore, [1860], and two species of Lemaireia
Nässig & Holloway, 1987.In Appendix I, all information
about the preimaginal morphology and life-histories of Sumatran Saturniidae
is compiled. The Appendix has a separate abstract. A systematic index is
provided.The literature references
for both the main text and Appendix I are combined at the end of Appendix
I.

J. Lampe & S. Kager: The preimaginal instars of some Sumatran and
South East Asian species of Saturniidae, including general notes on the
genus Antheraea (Lepidoptera).

Abstract: All
information about the preimaginal instars of the Saturniidae of the Indonesian
island of Sumatra available from literature and own rearing experiments
is compiled. The data are completed by rearing reports of species known
from Sumatra, of which the livestock originated in other areas. Of the
24 saturniid species known from Sumatra, 11 complete life-histories (including
colour illustrations of larvae) plus partial information on some other
species are presented. In addition, the life-history data of further non-Sumatran
species of the genus Antheraea Hübner is given to permit a
more complete survey of that genus to support the reorganization of the
genus presented in the main part. For most of the genera, general data
as well as specific information about additional species is provided in
the text for intra-generic comparison.Complete life-histories
are given of the following Sumatran species: Attacus atlas, Samia insularis
vaneeckei (and S. i. tetrica for comparison), Actias maenas
diana, Cricula trifenestrata javana, Antheraea (Antheraeopsis) castanea
([recte: A. (Ao.) youngi] from Thailand), Antheraea (Antheraea)
gschwandneri, Antheraea (Antheraea) pratti, Antheraea (Antheraea) helferi
borneensis (from West Malaysia),
Antheraea (Antheraea) (pernyi)
roylei korintjiana, Antheraea (Antheraea) lampei, and Loepa megacore.
Additional full life-histories are given for the following (non-Sumatran!)
Antheraea
species: Antheraea (Telea) polyphemus, Antheraea (Telea) montezuma,
Antheraea (Antheraea) cingalesa, and Antheraea (Antheraea) yamamai.
Partial life-history information is provided for the following species:
Antheraea
(Telea) godmani, Antheraea (Antheraea) rosieri, Antheraea (Antheraea) diehli,
and
Lemaireia
luteopeplus.

Abstract: General
features of the small family Brahmaeidae are given, with a short account
on systematics and basic classification of the family.On Sumatra only one species,
Brahmophthalma
hearseyi (White, 1862), is known.The Sumatran population
is tentatively assigned to the subspecies ardjoeno Kalis, 1934 (syn.
luchti
Dupont, 1937 [nec luchli, misspelling]; both taxa described from
Java, type specimens evidently lost).Further studies with more
material (especially from Java) on the status of the different populations
are necessary.The imagines are figured
in colour. Genitalia morphology and all preimaginal instars are described
and figured, the latter in colour. Locality data and phenology on Sumatra
is documented.
